A 'racist' former UCSB student received a lifetime ban from Tinder after he allegedly called a woman a 'ch**k' when she didn't reply to his message fast enough.

Nick Vedovi, 24, had his dirty laundry aired and his online dating service revoked after he reportedly sent a woman racist and sexist messages when she didn't immediately agree to go on a date with him back in February.

After other women came forward with their own nightmarish stories of Vedovi's alleged behavior, Tinder announced that the University of California at Santa Barbra graduate had his account banned for life, 'in commemoration of National Pig Day', on Wednesday.

Vedovi, who lives in San Francisco, California, had reportedly called a woman a 'ch**k' and a 'dumb c**t' when she didn't reply to his text about a date fast enough in late February

The start of Vedovi's downfall came when Facebook user Kevin Tran posted screenshots of a conversation he claims was between his friend and Vedovi, in late February.

He wrote in the post his friend had matched with Vedovi on Tinder and they began messaging outside of the app.

Tran said he attended college with Vedovi and thought he was a 'decent guy' and 'nice and friendly.'

However, this Vedovi showed a different side to the unidentified woman after she didn't respond to his invitation to come over fast enough. He allegedly went ballistic, calling her a 'ch**k' and a 'dumb c**t'.

Tran posted pictures of the exchange online as a warning, saying 'sexism and racism cannot be tolerated'.

Tran said he personally messaged Vedovi about the racist remarks and the UCSB graduate denied that the messages were coming from him. He said it was his old phone number and said that someone else could be using his photos.

Vedovi attended the University of California at Santa Barbara and graduated in 2014 with a degree in international business

After the post was shared more than 1,000 times, another woman, Alexa Velez, stepped forward and claims she was harassed by Vedovi after she told him she wasn't interested in dating him.

Velez wrote an open letter to Vedovi on NextShark, where she provided screenshots of the conversation she claims is with the California man, where he called her a 'bimbo' and a b***h'.
